What showman & performer! He was a true legend within his own life! R.I.P. - He now is a true legend forever!

For the record, this big hit for Marty was arranged and conducted on the record version by the great Ray Conniff.

I cant get over how Marty re-invented himself after that car wreck. He looked different, he acted different, a complete personality transformation from his early self. It was almost like being hit with a magic annointing by a fairy godfather.

My Dad loved Marty Robbins too. I was 8 years old when subjected to this at the Safeway parking lot on Saturday morning grocery shopping (Mom went in the store - Dad stayed in the car with the kids). I moved on to rock and roll as a teen in the late 60's as rebellion against country. Now I find myself back here.

The First song I ever heard him sing. It was on my Dads record called '20 all time greats of the 50's' by K-Tel. It came out in the 70's i think, and Istill have it in my hands now. The World has chainged but this music is still as great today as has always been.Brilliant. I had a go at singing it. I will try and post above my humble attempt. Thanks For Posting.
